Super Eagles new Head Coach Jose Peseiro is set for his competitive game when Nigeria take on the Leone Stars of Sierra Leone.
After two defeats to the El-Tri of Mexico and Ecuador in the United States of America, the Super Eagles return to play at home.
It will be the first Super Eagles game in Nigeria, since the 1-1 draw against the Black Stars of Ghana at the MKO Abiola which cost the country a place at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
The Super Eagles have a chance to appease the fans but need to start with victory against Sierra Leone.
